Chicken Shop & Dirty Burger Whitechapel

I had heard great things about Dirty Burger and noticed the branch near my office always had a line going out the door when I walked past so over the Christmas break we popped into the Mile End Road branch to see what the fuss was all about.

The place is really cool and the choice of beer is pretty decent, but that's where my praise ends. The burgers are meant to be served medium rare, mine was cooked so much it was devoid complete of any juice or flavor, the chips also were disappointingly bland. Such a shame I was really looking forward to the Dirty Burger experience too.

A fan of the brand. We ate a dirty burger and chicken wings. The burgers was slightly pink in side just how I like it and the wings nice crisp skin all for a tenner. There's a fair rang of beers and other drinks. It's a great place for a quick and filling bite, or a casual date out and about.

First the bad: the seating is way to tight and cosy for my liking, you may end up sharing a long table with other people.
The wings were poor, couldn't taste either of the flavours on them. The homemade lemonade tatsed like it was flat warm watered down Robinson's
The good: the buttermilk chicken burger was awesome! REALLY enjoyed it
Service was swift and sweet
Interior is nice and interesting

Burgers were great tasting, love the fillings, mac and cheese was indulgently cheesy! Fries came with legit Lebanese style garlic sauce. Friendly staff, nice casual atmosphere. Get the apple pie.!

Service here was great. Interior is OK - some may feel it's a little tight between tables. Also, you may end up sharing a long table with someone else but do have seating for the single visitor. Burger does feel a little small when comparing to other burger restaurants. The apple pie is probably the best iv had! Made inhouse. You can even order the whole pie if available!! Would visit here again if I'm ever about in the area.

My sister and I visited this restaurant for a quick meal, but we didn't expect to experience such fantastic and attentive service. Our glasses of water were topped up frequently, everything was clean and the decor was rustic and quirky.
With regards to the food, wow. It was delicious! Especially the chicken burger. I really can't explain how much we loved our meals. We bought dessert at the end too. The brownie was super moist, freshly baked, and perfect with the cool vanilla ice cream. Hats off to the chef!

Great rotisserie chicken as always from Chicken Shop - which is always much more filling than water pumped chicken in other grill places. The food was quite quick to come out - the Mac and cheese could’ve done with some thicker breadcrumbs and maybe some time in the oven to brown as it did look a bit like it came from a school canteen - it was delicious nonetheless. The sauces supplied were good and the cocktails were potent - in a good way! Will surely return.

Very good chicken burger and chips and a pint. Very busy and shared a table but that's fine with me for a lunch spot

Very tasty chicken burger and only £5 weekday lunchtime which made it even better. Chips are average. Would recommend the dirty bird.

Great place for a lunch bite. Quick and easy. Weekday lunchtime massive chicken burger, chips and a pint of lager for £14.

Service was added to the bill which I always think is a bit below the belt. Service is optional and should be added by the customer not the restaurant. In my opinion.
